Usher syndrome is an inherited disorder that is characterized by moderate to profound hearing impairment, which is present at birth or shortly thereafter, and progressive vision loss due to retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a degeneration of the retina.
Researchers believe that the hearing loss in Usher syndrome is due to a problem with the sensory (nerve) cells in the cochlea, a structure within the inner ear that is necessary for transmission of sound to the brain.

 Gale - Free Resources - Black History - Biographies - Usher   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
If Usher's 1994 self-titled debut album wasn't embraced universally by critics, the enormous commercial success of Usher made the recording an auspicious beginning, and the fact that the singer was a mere 16 years old at the time of its release only redoubles its impressiveness.
After relocating to Atlanta, Georgia with Usher and his younger brother James, Jonnetta Patton introduced her son to the church choir which she directed, and as is the case with many other RandB vocalists, the gospel experience was to prove invaluable training.
Usher was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Male RandB Vocal Performance, and he walked away with a statuette in the same category at the Soul Train Awards a month later.

 Stereophile: Usher Audio Technology S-520 loudspeaker
The S-520 is the entry-level two-channel bookshelf speaker from Usher Audio Technology, a Taiwanese company that manufactures more than two dozen two-channel speakers (not counting their home-theater models), all designed by Dr. Joseph D'Appolito in the US and, in Taiwan, Usher's Tsai Lien-Shui.
The only aspect of the Usher that approached a coloration was that, whenever I loudly played any passage with highly modulated upper-midrange and lower-high-frequency energy, the sound had a slightly forward tenseness.
I compared the Usher S-520 ($375/pair) with the Infinity Primus 150 ($198/pair), the Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 ($350/pair), and the Epos ELS 3 ($350/pair).
